Mondo.NYC, the annual global business summit and showcase music festival held in New York City from October 10-13, announced today the full agenda for its 2023 conference at the Arlo Williamsburg (previously known as The Williamsburg Hotel) in Brooklyn, NY. The event will also include showcases from over 35 artists from around the world, both in-person at venues throughout New York City and online at the Mondo.NYC YouTube channel.
The full 2023 Mondo.NYC conference schedule includes the first-ever AI Hub program, presented by SingularityNET, which will be held on October 10th starting at 9:30am in the Arlo Williamsburg’s iconic water tower. The day will feature a variety of sessions addressing everything from Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) to AI’s impact on music licensing, the blockchain, and more. The program will wrap with a cocktail party and performance from the band Desdemona’s Dream, featuring lead singer Desi the robot, at Drom from 7:30-11pm. More info can be found at https://mondo.nyc/snet.
Meanwhile, on the afternoon of October 10th in the Grand Ballroom starting at 2pm, SoundExchange will present “The Music Tech Generation,” a panel track that focuses on opportunities tech can provide for the industry to meet creators where they are, reduce friction in payments, empower the next generation to create and distribute music in new ways, and explore how these new ways of doing business impact revenue and monetization models. It will be headlined by a fireside chat between Michael Huppe (President & Chief Executive Officer, SoundExchange) and Bob McLynn (Co-Founder & Partner, CRUSH MUSIC) discussing the technology that is shaping the future of music, how things are changing, and how one thing will never change – the artist being at the center of it all.
Beyond the AI Hub program, Mondo.NYC will also host 10 additional sessions throughout the conference on the most important topics and trends in the AI and music space, including AI sourcing, ethics, AI artists, creator tools, using AI safely, and AI’s opportunities and challenges. More info on this track can be found at https://shorturl.at/cmnzL.
Another conference-spanning track will cover finance and investment, with 12 sessions meant to help artists and their teams — including business managers, publishers, lawyers, accountants, and more — get the information they need to make the most money from their work. Attendees will get a first look at DiMA and MusicWatch’s “Living the Stream” report, a new consumer study that examines what brought listeners to streaming, their thoughts on the experience, and what opportunities the future might hold. In addition, Willard Ahdritz (Chairman & Founder, Kobalt Music) will sit for a keynote conversation with Jem Aswad (Executive Music Editor, Variety).
The RIAA will curate an afternoon of music policy sessions on October 11th in the Grand Ballroom, kicking off at 2pm with the 8th annual “Everything You Need to Know About Music Policy in One Hour” panel, a crash course in the latest industry news from Capitol Hill hosted by Mitch Glazier (Chairman & CEO, RIAA) and featuring panelists Emily Chapuis (Deputy General Counsel, U.S. Copyright Office), Joshua P. Friedlander (SVP Research & Economics, RIAA), Josh Hurvitz (Head of Advocacy, A2IM & Partner, NVG), and Tyler Grimm (Chief Counsel for Policy & Strategy, U.S. House of Representatives, Judiciary Committee). Additional sessions will tackle how humans and technology can responsibly co-exist, investment and opportunities for marginalized communities in the live music scene featuring Fitz and the Tantrums vocalist and Diversify the Stage Founder Noelle Scaggs, and end with a fireside chat between Glazier and Jason Peterson (GoDigital Media Group Founder & CEO). More info can be found at https://mondo.nyc/riaa2023.
Those interested in the “Future of Music Creation & Production” can also take in a series of sessions on the subject on October 11th in the Mirror Bar starting at 2pm. Curated by Daniel Rowland (Head of Partnerships & Strategy for LANDR), the track will focus on the proliferation of AI in the production space, analyzing the broad impact of this and other cutting-edge technology on the music creation and distribution process — from creator collaboration to the re-imagination of the listener experience. Specific topics will include the future of AI-native creator tools, artists utilizing AI models of their sound and likeness for fan engagement, the benefits of collaboration and gamification in music production, and how AI tools are trained for specific artists. More info can be found at https://shorturl.at/jvyV0.
Mondo.NYC will also host the sixth annual Guild of Music Supervisors (GMS) NYC Education Event on October 12th starting at 9am in the Grand Ballroom with a breakfast hosted by Clio Music. This year’s GMS panels include discussions on licensing music for video games, creating brand anthems, creating custom music for sync, and multiple music supervision panels. It will end with a Meet the Creators Mixer presented by Grayson Music Group. More info can be found at https://mondo.nyc/guild-of-music-supervisors-2023.
Mondo.NYC will wrap with the 7th annual CLE Music & Tech Law Symposium on October 13 in the Grand Ballroom starting with breakfast at 8am. The event will consist of a full day of panels and discussions tackling hot topics such as generative AI; piracy and streaming fraud; the Metaverse; recent litigations involving artists such as Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, Dua Lipa, Childish Gambino, and Eminem; the challenges around fractional rights; touring; and ethical issues. More info can be found at https://mondo.nyc/cle.
Each night, live music from Mondo’s yearly showcase festival will take over venues throughout NYC and Brooklyn, including The Knitting Factory at Baker Falls, Drom, Heaven Can Wait, Pianos, and the Brooklyn Bowl. Over 35 artists are confirmed for the always-eclectic global music lineup including Joe Sumner, son of legendary musician Sting; Sublime offshoot Long Beach Dub Allstars; Ethiopia-born, Canada-based artist Zada, who will be making her U.S. debut; 24-year-old GRAMMY-winning blues guitarist Christone “Kingfish” Ingram; and much more. More info on the live showcases can be found at https://mondo.nyc/live-showcases-2023. Mondo badge holders are granted complimentary access to its showcases; individual tickets are also available for purchase. In addition, Mondo will present its online Music Discovery Showcase on October 10-11 via its YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/mondonyc.
In a joint statement, Mondo.NYC’s co-founders Bobby Haber and Joanne Abbot Green said, “It’s hard to believe we’re entering our eighth year of Mondo.NYC and continuing to foster this incredible community of music industry professionals and artists. We’re thrilled to see everyone again in Williamsburg and at our showcase venues across NYC to gather and discuss meaningful change and industry evolutions throughout the last year and in the years to come.”
